Hello Friends! Jörg is always hungry, and we all want to go out for a nice walk. This weekend, we can kill 2 birds with one stone! There is an ostrich farm (Straußenfarm, ferme d'autruches) in Contern, and this weekend they are open to the public for the "Straussefest", Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 7pm. We're going to start in Contern near the "Hall Sportif" and do the "Guttland Trail Contern" with a little extension into the Dalheim forest. After around 8km we will stop for the lunch break, but don't eat too much, Jörg promised that there will be ostrich available at the finish line. At least some pâté and salami, I heard, and you can buy ostrich meat for your next barbecue. **Meeting Point:** We will meet at the "Hall Sportif" in Contern. There's a huge parking lot behind the building. https://maps.app.goo.gl/GQw9vQbzVfkBNHti6 **Public Transport:** You can take train RB 4810 towards "Wasserbillig", leaving "Gare Centrale" at 10.42, arriving in Sandweiler-Contern at 10:50. 5 minutes later you take Bus 324 towards "Kirchberg, Luxexpo" and exit in Contern at the stop "Kraizgaass" at 11:02. From there it is just 10 minutes walk towards "Syren", at the end of the town, on the right-hand side. **Car Pool:** If you come by car, you might offer a seat to a friendly co-hiker. https://groupcarpool.com/t/jmsd2t Passengers, please get into the cars of your favorite driver or place of departure, or on the waiting list if there's no free seat at the moment. Don't forget to remove yourself from the waiting list when you find a seat in a car! Disclaimer: The hike is at your own risk, and please make sure to wear proper shoes and bring some water for yourself! Looking forward to hiking with you! Jens. PS: We will not kill 2 birds; one stone would not be enough anyway. Do you have an idea about the size of these things?

Hola travelers and locals, Welcome to the first Luxembourg Backpackers picnic 😁 Do you also feel this springtime air? 🌸 We do, hence for the launch event of this group we'll try to meet open-air: specifically, in Kinnekswiss Park (location here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/iQzFyCencRJLSN9J7) 🌞 You can freely bring drinks, snacks and/or a blanket for yourself or, even better, to share 🥙🍻 But mainly, bring a lot of good vibes 🥳 What if the weather isn’t on our side? No worries, we'll manage to find a good plan B - In Luxembourg, we know we sometimes need to adapt ☔ No matter where we meet, be ready for amazing company, travel and backpacking stories, and new friendships 😁 See you there 👋

Outdoor calisthenics workouts are a fantastic way to build strength, improve fitness, and enjoy the great outdoors 😁🦾 Calisthenics is a form of strength training that uses the resistance of your body and gravity to help strengthen your muscles and improve your coordination, endurance, and mobility. It’s a workout that relies on body weight with little or no equipment. In fact, almost all common bodyweight exercises are considered calisthenics exercises. Some examples include: - airsquats - pushups - pullups - frogstand -handstand -musclup -backlever aso 😁 Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced athlete, calisthenics provides a holistic approach to fitness. 🏋️‍♂️💪

**\*\*\* We've Moved! Bold Penguin - 6555 Longshore St, Dublin, OH 43017 \*\*\*** Talk by Todd Nussbaum LGTM is not a Strategy Pull requests are where quality is won or lost, and too many teams still treat reviews with a rushed "LGTM". In this talk, you'll learn a practical, repeatable approach to high-quality PR reviews that balances speed with risk management - covering how to triage changes quickly, review in layers, and write comments that lead to better outcomes without friction. We'll also show how QA and developers bring complementary lenses to the same review, turning acceptance criteria, scenarios, and observability into shared responsibility instead of production surprises. You'll leave with a lightweight framework and concrete habits for authors and reviewers that make reviews faster, kinder, and more effective. **AGENDA:** * See updates to parking below * Doors open at 5:30, feel free to come and hang out before! * Official start of the meeting is at 6:30pm * After the meeting is done, we will go hang out at a nearby space in Bridge Park!
